Hello, We are just back from a vacation to Florida, so great to get away from the cold for a bit. I had thought going down that I would do some plein air painting but instead I painted inside a few times. It sounds wonderful to paint on the beach but the reality of it is lots of sand everywhere, wind and sun so I wimped out, lol.

I painted this down there from a pretty silk arrangement that was in the place where we stayed, kind of hard to set up without my screen and light but I had fun. Oil on a 8 X 10 Raymar panel.

I took some good reference photos and will probably be painting some of those soon.

Hello there, I painted this one last week from a set up. Tried to keep things dark and have the sunflower on the right catch most of the light. Oil on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas. I met Debra Bryant today while on vacation in Florida, she is a wonderful artist and although I felt I already knew her it was great to meet her in person. I have made so many wonderful online artist friends, I wish I could meet them all. Thank you Debra for your hospitality and of course the rum balls, yum!

Hi, I painted this last week from a set up of a silver pitcher and apples. Part way through I almost wiped it off but I pushed on and I am very pleased with it. Every once in a while you paint one and say to yourself "I love it"! and I love this, lol. This is oil on a 8 x 10 Raymar panel. I am wondering if a silver frame would look best on it, hmmm. I have painted several of these dark dramatic still lifes lately and when I look at them I find them very appealing, hope you do too. Have a great day!

Hello there, I painted this last week from a set up, a old copper teapot and some wonderful Granny smith apples. I wanted to keep things dark and the star of the show be the apples. I have been painting still lifes like crazy, I think when you are forced inside in the winter painting from a set up is great practice. This is oil on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas. Stay warm

Hi Everyone, This is a copy of a Sorolla, I didn't try to copy it exactly. I just brought his painting up on my monitor and freehanded everything. I try to paint from life as often as possible but when I do paint from a photo I like to paint from my monitor. If you are lucky enough to have a hi-resolution photo you can enlarge your subject and really see the details. This is oil on a 8 X 10 stretched canvas. I have 2 paintings completed for the show in February called "Dance with Me", when it gets closer I'll show you those. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi there, Another still life keeping in mind some of the methods of C.W. Mundy. Sorry, there is a bit of glare in the photo. This is oil on a 8 x 10 Raymar panel.

I am taking several still life set ups with me tomorrow for my Monday painting group, I am trying to keep them on the simple side so we can complete them in one session. I tried to choose set ups with things that have a similar shape, again a suggestion from Mundy. So fun to try new things and see if they work for you. Have a great day!
